Nothing But The Truth VS Fair Game (SPOILERS)


SPOILERS.

This film is similar to the Naomi Watts movie "Fair Game" the difference is that Fair Game was focused on the CIA agent, whereas Nothing But The Truth focuses on the reporter.

I personally prefer NBTT, there's more likeable characters and the story is fast-paced, Fair Game is a borefest no matter how much i tried to like it.

NBTT could have toned down the swear words, i liked Vera Farmiga's character and i like the actress's work, the thing is however, most of the dialogue coming out of Farmiga's mouth was foul words, it was too over the top.

Plus the movie could have toned down the women's prison fighting scenes, some of it was too graphic example the part where Kate Beckinsale gets brutally beaten, do we really need to see that? Also can someone tell me why the woman who beat her up was dragging her straight after the fight? Why was she dragging Kate Beckinsale across the floor? and what was she planning to do?

As a Brit i'm not even a fan of Kate Beckinsale, i don't like her as a person (her Twitter feed which shows who she really is, is annoying as hell) and i don't like any of her movies except for this one, she played the part perfectly i must admit, plus the little boy looks like her, he was well-cast and he did what he could with his lines, he was good in his role for a child actor, most child actors can't act, bless them.

Nothing But The Truth delves into every aspect of the story, whereas Fair Game just shows characters constantly arguing with each other.
